I have installed the latest xampp with mysql version 14.14 Distrib 5.6.21, the problem is in my computer, I already have a mysql database installed by other program that I am using.

So I configure the xampp mysql port to 3307 (default is 3306) inside the my.ini file. However, now my localhost/phpmyadmin seems to read the database installed by the other program, not the one in xampp, and also when I test using some php files, it shows that I am connected to the database even though xampp is turned off( xampp mysql also disconnected ).

How do I change the setting of my phpmyadmin and localhost to connect to the mysql port 3307 ?

I am a newbie in these matters and don't really understand how all these port and database works very clearly. Any comments are welcomed. Hope that anyone could educate me a little on these matters. Thx in advance
